SMALL BOXES: Best for small heavy objects like books, records, cans, jars of food, utensils, shoes etc.
MEDIUM BOXES: Best for medium size or relatively lightweight objects such as pillows, bedding and stuffed animals.
LARGE BOXES: Best for larger items. Do not pack overly heavy items in one box as it will become too difficult for one person to move.

Other packing supplies you might need:

Packing Paper/Newsprint: Great for wrapping items to prevent scratching. Also can be used as cushioning when scrunched up.

Tissue Paper: Softer than newsprint and great for delicate items . Also excellent for cushioning and fills small spaces, particularly helpful when packing fragile items.

Bubble Wrap: This plastic packing material is made up of hundres of tiny bubbles or air cushions. Excellent over wrap for exceptionally delicate items after they are wrapped in tissue.
